To know how secure blockchain is, recall the process of money transfer via a bank. (To know more about blockchain read this blog ).. You go to a bank, tell them you want to make a money transfer, give them your account details and the receivers details, the bank saves all these details and makes the transfer. Sounds easy, right? But this process can tamper – can be altered and that too very easily. Here’s where Blockchain comes into play . It’s decentralized, secure, and transparent (i.e., the data is available publicly) way of money transfer. You might now be thinking that since the transaction data is available publicly it might have some safety issues. Like a hacker can hack this data and alter it. What will happen then? Let’s try to visualize what will happen if someone attempts to alter t...

The era of Agile In the technical world, the development team works on creating the product by sorting out the requirements, designing the architecture, coding the programs, testing for errors, and finally, deploying the software. This kind of approach is known as the “Ad waterfall model”. The main problem of this approach was when the customer wanted some changes to be made in the software. The developers were forced to rework on these changes and the process became time-consuming which resulted in increased costs for the companies. Because of this, companies realized that the waterfall model was slow for developers and thus began the search for better techniques.  So, to fix this Agile development came into existence. Agile development basically focused on the importance of delivering the entire software in smaller chunks of features periodically. This allowed the team of developers to break down the issues and debug the codes with multiple iterations. But this method opt...

We all have heard of AI - Artificial intelligence at some point in time in our lives… But what pops up in our heads when we hear this word — Robots taking over the planet and making humans their slaves? In reality, AI is nothing like that. A I is sim ply the intelligence demonstrated by machines. It came into existence by studying and analyzing the brain, how we think, learn, decides, and work. So, we can say that AI is the simulation of human intelligence processes by machines. Types of artificial intelligence: According to Arend Hintze, assistant professor of integrative biology and computer science at Michigan State University, AI can be categorized: • Reactive machines: They have no memory, so they can’t use experiences to inform future ones. They are designed for specific purposes and thus can’t be easily used in other situations, e.g., Deep Blue and Google's AlphaGO. • Limited memory: These AI systems can use experiences to inform future decisions, e.g., a...
